Chapter 402: WHAT NING YIYI SAID IS TRUE
Ning Mei as usual gave her sweetest smile and said, "Hi Jiejie. You all missed me, really? Thank you. But I wish I could tell you the same too. But life in America had been so cool, also my life lately had been really happening, that I could not miss any of you other than Gege and Grandpa. "
Though Ning Mei smiled and sounded like a sweetheart, the jabs in her words did not unmissed by Ning Yiyi.
There is something wrong, no doubt. Ning Yiyi thought to herself.
Ning Yiyi then chuckled mad said, "Ofcourse, I am sure it had been very happening. But my dear, I doubt you had only forgotten to miss us, but you seemed to have forgotten to miss Grandpa too. After all, you have been back to country for quite some months now and have already established an impressive career in the industry.
Not to mention you now have good connections with VIPs.
But Grandpa doesn’t seem to know about any of it. "
Ning Yiyi hit straight at point. She not only said what was in her mind, but what everyone in the room wanted to ask.
Ning Mei had a small smile on her face, as she stared straight at Ning Yiyi, who was busy ’exposing’ her in front of her grandfather. But that was alright, it was nothing unexpected to her. Infact, if Ning Yiyi did not do this, she would have been shocked.
" What are you talking about Yiyi?" Elder Ning asked with utmost confusion.
Ning Yiyi looked at Elder Ning and then at Ning Mei. Her smile widened as she said,
" Our Ning Mei has grown up, grandfather. And she has done remarkable things lately. She came back from America long ago. And has done a lot of work in the entertainment Industry. Ning Mei has over a few millions followers on Weibo, has done three to four modeling jobs for big brands. She is also the Brand Ambassador of Koral, the current leading in fashion Industry. She has done a film and not only that worked in a drama with me too.
And all this while, hiding her real identity.
But at that time, I wasn’t able to recognise her, as she has changed a lot. And most members in our family did not know that you had sent her to America. "
Though Ning Yiyi’s words did not feel offending to hear. As it only looked as if she was genuinely praising Ning Mei’s career, and telling facts. But her words had a lot of taunting hints and taunts directed at Ning Mei.
And her most primary motive was to tell Elder Ning, that Ning Mei had lied to him. If things did not go wrong already, then she will try to make it again.
But Ning Yiyi was not done there, she made a slightly pouty face, and said to Ning Mei, " And that’s not very good of you, Mei. We have met each other in multiple occasions, but you never told me about who you were. "
As she said this, Ning Yiyi’s face did darken bg a shade. Because she remembered the occasions they met and interacted, and hardly any of them had been pleasant. Their had been an unsaid tension everytime.
Everyone went silent. There was a silent pressure in the room, and all waited for Elder Ning to say something.
The people with the most anxiety currently would be Ning Mei’s friends and brother. Ning Yiyi was targeting her, but their heartbeats has being racing.
Ning Mei looked cooly at Ning Yiyi, because
in her attempt to bring out her flaws, she had literally spelled out and glorified all her career achievements.
Slowly, she turned towards Elder Ning and found him staring at her straight.
She waited for him to say something. Ning Mei maintained her cool composure. She did not know how he was going to react, but atleast keeping a cool composure looked confident, right!
" Xiao Mei, whatever Yiyi is telling, is it true?"
Elder Ning asked Ning Mei with a serious face.
Ning Yiyi smirked and waited for Ning Mei to get worked off.
But Ning Mei flashed her brightest smile at Elder Ning and nodded her head, and said, "Yes Grandpa! Whatever jie jie said is a one hundred percent true! Intact, not only that I also befriended a few members of the Gu family. Infact, you know my first flim was with the National treasure, Chen Yang and Song Fena! It was a massive hit!
I know Grandpa, you don’t like to watch movies and dramas much. But now you to! "
Ning Mei’s reaction was completely opposite of what Ning Yiyi had expected. And undoubtedly, her smile fell from her face.
Ning Mei continued to explain herself her achievements to Elder Ning, who continued to listen to her. And his face slowly changing from seriousness to curiousness to interested and then impressed! Well, she had done some great jobs in this short while.
Then finally, she turned to Ning Yiyi and said, " Ain’t I right, Jiejie? " She had just finished explaining how she got the Brand Ambassadorship for Koral.
Ning Yiyi smiled tightly and said Yes.
" So, it was basically a competition between you two? " One of the guest asked.
Well, everyone has their ears this side. They had no intentions of missing any gossip of such an interesting topic about the mystry boxes of gossips Ning Mei was opening one after another.
Ning Mei shook her head and said, " Nahh. It was not. The CEO, Gu Liya just asked me that if I suppressed the hype of the celebrity, Ning Yiyi, I could have the position. " She very subtly conveyed the message that Ning Yiyi was never Koral’s choice.
Elder Ning nodded his head, as he has a subtle smile of proudness on his lips and he said, " That’s fine. Atleast it was a daughter of the Ning family. "
" Oh and yes, I am quite famous now. Ask anyone of the guests here! They all knew me. Not only as the granddaughter of Ning Gongxue, but as myself, Ning Mei. " Ning Mei said.
